The contemporary foreign language teaching process for pupils between the ages of 6 and 14 determines the already acknowledged purpose for oral and written communication competences of the foreign language expanded with reading, socio-cultural and intercultural competences. CEFRL is used as an orientation concerning the levels of language competences that the pupils and students are expected to acquire during their obligatory education. CEFRL differentiates the following levels of competence: the elementary level (A1 Breakthrough and A2 Waystage), the level of independent use of the language (B1Threshold and B2 Vantage) and, finally, the level of competent use of the language (C1 Effective Operational Proficiency and C2 Mastery). This paper presents the goals, the grammatical structures, the lexical units, etc. that are expected to be acquired from the first to the third grade of the obligatory elementary education i.e. a partial acquisition of the A1 preparation level.
